A Bill to cap Whitehall redundancy payouts at one year's pay is intended to bring Whitehall severance packages in line with standard practice in the private sector according to a government spokes person.
This move if implemented will create a difficult employee relations climate in the Civil Service and very low morale as well and the unions will of course fight this additional attack on members terms and conditions of service. The civil service unions will be starting a campaign to oppose these regressive moves as will other unions in the public sector.
The introduction of the Bill comes after the government tried to impose reductions to civil service conditions in April but a High court judicial review ruled these changes were unlawful
